ZusammenfassungDominique-Jean Larrey (1766–1842) war leitender Chirurg der französischen Armee unter Kaiser Napoleon I. Er ist als Vater der modernen Militärchirurgie sowie der Entwicklung des „Triagesystems“ bekannt geworden. Larrey war ein hervorragender und engagierter Arzt, der nicht nur die eigenen, sondern auch die Soldaten der gegnerischen Truppen medizinisch versorgt hat. Beim Fehlen einer zuverlässigen Analgesie und Anästhesie war zu damaliger Zeit die Geschwindigkeit und das Können das hervorstechendste Merkmal eines Chirurgen. Gegen den Widerstand der Administration hat Larrey eine Erstversorgung auf dem Schlachtfeld sowie eine schnelle Bergung der Verwundeten mithilfe der „fliegenden Ambulanzen“ möglich gemacht. Er galt als großer Freund der Soldaten.

“To Afford the Wounded Speedy Assistance”: Dominique Jean Larrey and Napoleon

Dominique Jean Larrey (1766-1842) has been described as the father of modern military surgery and is considered even today as the model military surgeon. He developed a plan of rapid evacuation of wounded soldiers from the battlefield during combat, using flexible medical units which he named ambulances volantes ("flying ambulances"). He won the admiration of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), who was amazed by the results of Larrey's sanitary system. Larrey spent almost 18 years with Napoleon, accompanying him in 25 campaigns, 60 battles, and more than 400 engagements. Napoleon's enormous military success was due not only to his strategy and skill but also to the medical services provided by Larrey. The surgeon became a master of wound management and limb amputation. In his vivid battlefield journals, Larrey documented the course of tetanus, the pathophysiology of cold injury, the effective control of hemorrhage, the drainage of empyema and hemothorax, the aspiration of pericardial effusion or hemopericardium, and the packing of sucking chest wounds. Larrey established a categorical rule for the triage of war casualties, treating the wounded according to the observed gravity of their injuries and the urgency for medical care, regardless of their rank or nationality.

Dominique-Jean Larrey (1766-1842) was Surgeon-in-Chief of the Grande Army under Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) and personal physician of the Emperor. Against the opposition of the traditionalists he introduced the "ambulances volantes", the so-called flying ambulances. The aim was the medical treatment of the injured soldiers immediately on the battlefield. This revolutionary treatment led to a benefit not only for the own soldiers, but also for the wounded enemies. His innovation in the field of immediate assistance of wounded persons, together with Larreys' outstanding medical competence, saved thousands of soldiers lives on the battlefield of the Napoleonic wars. His memories concerning the military campaigns, have been even up to the 20th century one of the standard works of modern military surgery. He had as well great interest in urolological injuries of the urinary system and their conservative and operative care. Up to these days, his work shows a surprising actuality and perfect anatomic understanding. In a time without anaesthetics, antibiotics and under primitive circumstances, Larrey and his collegues accomplished surgical feats. Larreys flying ambulances were copied by many different countries. The American Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M.A.S.H) is clearly based on his thoughts and ideals. In our opinion he is the father of the modern war surgery as well the urological traumatology.
